THE DOOR LOCK - amzn.to/3r0BxN0

As I've heard lock experts say, "the lock is more of a delay." All that noise while kicking in the door will get someone's attention unless you live in the middle of nowhere. Just a thought. Lol

To be honest, I’m more impressed with how the door itself survived.

I am a first responder and I've had to kick in several doors. They are very easy to kick in. You can cause a Deadbolt to fail with 1 kick. I believe the reason you struggled was your moving frame. Also I can say definitively the size of the screws is what will save you. To make your door almost kickproof literally just put 3" screws through the metal Deadbolt latch

Tyler: *kicks his way past all these locks* All these lock companies: *YOU WERENT SUPPOSED TO DO THAT*

The door chain is fitted the wrong way round. Slider goes on the door, not the jam. But yes it was still flimsy...

Put all the locks on one door and make the ultimate door

Funny story here: The second lock he reviewed is one that i have on my apartment door (aside from the chain that is originally on it). I installed this bad-boy and i must've forgot to tighten the screws down that were on the catcher so i left the house and came back an hour later, opened the door and the catcher caught on the nob piece and i was essentially locked out of my own home. It was EXACTLY like this scenario in the video. It took me 45 minutes of kicking in the door (JUST LIKE TYLER WAS DOING) to FINALLY loosen the screws enough to where i could reach my hand in and pull the nob loose and out of the catcher. Its still a good lock though, IMO. Full disclosure: The screws that came in the package were NOT the long screws as shown here. They were tiny little screws

Part of your problem on that second lock is that your entire door is moving, which is dissipating the force through the entire door. If it was solidly put inside a wall, it probably wouldn't have lasted nearly as long.

Even though he definitely installed the chain in backwards... I've always seen the chain as a "you can't walk straight in" defence rather than a "you can't get in at all" defence.

When project farm hasn’t posted in a week we get tyler farm lol

To be fair, some of these door stops are meant to be used in conjunction with your existing door locks. Alot stronger when all work together.

I worked in hospitality for years and I know the strength of those swing-bar locks. I actually use them on my own home. The thing with that particular lock is that if someone is trying to breach a door, it’s going to, A: Set off the security alarm. Or B: Wake me up and give me enough time to be on the other side of the door with a 9mm. I really enjoyed this video and the lesson I take away is that sometimes, the older methods are still the best methods. 😉

You need to try this with some antique locks. I’ve got locks from the 1850s that I’ve tested. No one is getting in that room

One of the things I noticed is that your door frame moved QUITE a bit when you were hitting it. That movement absorbed a lot of the impact. Most of these locking devices probably would have failed, sooner, if you had them on a proper door. However, most of these locking devices would, and should, be used in conjunction with the deadbolt and the knob lock. Final thing - this is why firefighters are not trained to kick doors in. They're trained to use haligans and other tools. Kicking doors in is a good way to screw your knees. Other than that, solid video.

Regarding the test of the latch lock where the door "bends" out of the way, it might not be the door bending, but also the door frame you're using, which is not secured to any walls / studs like a real door frame would be.

you should modify the pole one to have a solid pin going through the holes to see if it works any better. great video as usual!

Damn LPL has become really chaotic lately

You've got to be kidding with the door chain? 😂🤦🏻‍♂️ The latch part goes on the door so when the door opens it pulls it along the track so you can't put your hand round if you do it right

I feel suddenly way safer in a hotel room than I do in my own house.

I was surprised by how fast the door defender failed (the aluminum flip lock). Personally I like the steel strike plates that reinforces the door jamb and prevents the wood from failing. The one you gave 10 stars for is common on hotel rooms. Thanks for doing this. Btw, the products that rely on the door to be latched and bolt thrown might have done better had you not held the door partially open/ unlatched. Sometimes these products are designed to work together with a locked door not by themselves. That’s just my opinion and your testing has definitely gave me some ideas. Thanks for sharing!

The LockPicking Lawyer would be proud of Tyler's lock handling skills, such finesse

The chain lock needs to be mounted horizontally in order to not let someone unhook from the outside.

tyler coming thru that door like my dad finaly bringing the milk home made my day

to accurately test those locks, you have to get a new door and door frame every time. It obviously gets weaker each time you kick it.

tyler the locks aren't gonna break that easy when the door is wobbling around like that. you really need to test it on a door that's actually hung in a wall. you're losing so much force to the wobble.

Ah yes, time for another episode of “something I didn’t know I wanted to find out”

Tyler. The door chain is intended to keep little kids from opening the door when you aren't looking not to prevent someone coming in. As far as the rest. By the time you got past some of them you may be looking down a gun barrel

The welds on the privacy hooks are probably the strongest part of done properly. It may appear as a weak point but because of how the welds work and welding itself works it actually strengthens the material

As someone who has breached and entered premises, I can tell you that a deadbolt mounted in an actual door frame is MUCH harder than a couple of kicks. Were talking sledge and hooligan tool.

You're whole frame is twisting and moving, that makes breaking the door open harder. In a house and an apartment the door frame won't move so it transfer your force better on the weak spots.

Do you think the white hinge type lock that you assumed would be stronger could’ve failed because either (1) the door was so far off from being flush with the frame that the lock didn’t fully engage or (2) there was excess space in between the frame and the door, placing too much torque on the far edge of the bumper as this would create a radial/circular force that almost mimics pulling the hinge out with your fingers? I can’t tell whether the latter is an issue from the view on the video. Just asking because i was leaning towards this lock the most before watching this video. Now not too sure

The locks definitely benefited from the free standing frame. Less energy was being transferred into the the small lock and being shared by the movement of the frame

"its definitely getting weak, 100%" 😂😂 then pulls out the sledgehammer

Tyler the chain is on backwards XD The proper way of doing it is having the track on the door, that way someone would have to have the strength to dig the lock through itself. Chains safe people's lives.

The most surprising this is that I'm sitting here and watching this at 2am right now.

Honestly....Im only here for "oh no....whatever will I do"!? 😱 🤣🤣🤣🤣🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥲 I love Tyler....absolutely LOVE HIM.

Ever wonder why the deadbolt is so long? It is supposed to go through the frame, and into the trim stud inside the wall. The metal bracket (if installed properly, prevents the frame/stud from splitting apart like that,) can also be installed on the stud during installation of the frame, making it even beefier, and allowing larger (within reason) screws to be used efficiently. Properly installed deadbolts are freaking hard to bypass with force. That is also an exterior door on a 6" frame. It should be installed in a 2x6 wall, making the deadbolt mounted in it even stronger. That is a 2x4 frame.

that is one high quality door

Steel doorframe and door with a deadbolt is probably your best bet for security. I have significantly above average experience with kicking in doors and if either the frame or door are wood (with standard deadbolt) it wouldn't take me more than 2 kicks, if it did take me 2 I would end up laughing awkwardly between the first and second kick. Foot placement and correct weight shift are the most important things.

You could hold out longer with a wedge of wood than some of those

I personally replace all the screws for the lock plates on the frame and hinges with 3 inch deck screws instead of the half inch screws most come with. That way if the frame does break you still have to break the screws

5:03 - 7:16 and by the time you got it open, every cop in the state is there.

I work in a hotel that has those U-type locks. There has been instances where we've had to breach the door. There's a few ways to open them. 1. Use a credit card/ drivers license/ or the hotel key card to slide it in the door frame pushing the latch open. It takes practice to do this effectively. 2. Once the door is open you reach in with a pair of channel locks and grab and twist either the top or bottom "rung". This breaks it and moves it away. 3. Same as before. But once the door is open you use a good strong knife or the tip of an expandable baton and put it between the rungs. Then twist either up or down until it breaks and separates.

You gotta remember that most of those locks are extra security, and would be locked with the dead bolt and handle lock all locked at the same time

I have just a few points to make on your video, the chain lock should not have riveted hardware for the latch, it also should be mounted horizontally not vertically so that when the door is pushed in it cannot reach the latch release point. The frame you used needed to be beefed up to reduce flex and twist such as a real door frame would react. Also the best lock for your door in my opinion is the nightlock door lock. It is very effective and quick and easy to install.

3:10 Me: Trying to get past the door TylerTube's Twitch on the other side of the door

2nd door safety lock can be removed easily from open gap with small low profile ratcheting 6:08 screwdriver . Can also mylar shim it .

My apartment door came with the 2nd lock thing you tested installed, and it has helped me feel safe numerous times. I have anxiety and a bit of paranoia. Sometimes I get it in my head that someone is going to come in my apartment and kill me in my sleep. No good reason for the fear, tbh. I live in a pretty safe area. No crimes in this neighborhood in the three years I have lived here. And I am a man, so it's not like I feel afraid because I am weak or anything. It's just mental illness :) Anyway, I use the extra door lock thing whenever my brain convinces me I am in danger. This video of you struggling to break the door down with it on there makes me feel even better. And I know the one I have is even more heavy-duty (thicker, installed correctly) than the one you tested. Could you also test window locks? My apartment is on the second floor, but I still get paranoid that someone is looking up into my apartment from below and that if they see me they will grab a ladder and climb up in here to bypass the door. To anyone who is alarmed - yes, I am being treated for my mental illness. Knowing something is irrational doesn't make it seem any less real, in the moment. Once I get into that panicky hyper-vigilant state of mind, not even Superman could convince me the threat isn't real. I am not a danger to myself or others, at this point in time.

One the easiest way to increase door security is to remove the little screws that hold your dead bolt receiver plate to the door frame and install 4 inch deck screws in their place... especially if you have a good sturdy steel core door and properly built door frame

I work at a hotel. Those latches are designed to be opened with a special tool from the outside. You could easily buy one offline. Or maybe even make your own as they aren't really anything more than a thin metal plate with 2 prongs. Also, there have been times where we couldn't find the tool and our security has just kicked the door in. I've seen 3 just rip out of the door frame still intact.

you just gotta realize, by the time I hear all these attempts to undo my lock - you may have opened my door, but now you're looking down the barrel of my gun lol

The thing about some of this stuff is it's more meant to delay someone breaking in, there's really no way to 100% prevent someone from breaking in it's more, it gives you more time to react.

A suggestion, if you want a secure door, just buy an outside opening one. Second tip, buy a strike plate. Third tip, buy big and long heavy duty screws and use them in all of the screw holes.

It's great to see all of these stacked side by side! The frame being floating and moving definitely makes the experiment a bit unscientific haha but at least they're all tested under the same conditions. I wonder how the rigidity of a fixed door frame stabilized by the exterior wall of a house affect the results if at all? Very informative video thank you!

Tyler Tube is stepping on my man Project Farm's toes with this one!! He should have done a collaboration with him!!

A way to impove the stick stop thingy is to drill a hole through the right hight setting and insert a steel pin with cotterpins on both sides. Im not sure if it still would fail but i want someone to try it. Im a failed engineer so i kinda know some things lol

If you look at the deadbolt, you can see it wasn't past the metal guard. I used to set up security systems and I'd always carry spare deadbolt plates for customers I saw without them. That's WHY the frame came off. The metal bit spreads the load and prevents it from breaking the frame. The plate I have for my doorframe has 6 screws that are each 2 inches. You will tire yourself out before you break my frame.

The way he always steps in or walks in after the the door opens is funny as fuck.

I have that flip over style you brought out the sledge for, but I also have a steel door and door frame, it may not keep a determined person out, but I will sure as hell hear them trying to get in.

You didn't install a striker plate for the deadbolt, of course it's going to break

The lock you endorse the most is easy to bypass. Most hotels are use to opening those. I recommend recommend a full door bar.

0:08 Kind of reminds me of the joke a a Polish guy carrying a heavy car door across the the Sahara Desert . If he gets hot, he can roll the window down.

Everyone: *outside shooting fireworks* Tyler: I wanna break some door locking mechanisms

No one: Not a single soul: Tyler on 4th of July: I wanna know if these locks actually work so imma kick a door!

Door poles work really well for sliding doors, thats it

Im watching this while home alone and im a weenie being alone. Even with a pistol and such it still gives me the heebie jeebies.

Thought the chain was to prevent your children wondering out the house?

i love how this is how tyler spends his 4th of July😂🎆🎉

I like how he walks in like he’s about to do damage on someone’s house 😂😂

I know the main goal for most people is to keep people out but I also find it valuable that a lot of noise is needed to break the door down. I really just need one loud noise to wake me up so I can reach for my gun.

If your frame was bolted down so the door wouldn’t move when you kick it, the second lock may have broke sooner. Those things are pretty good though

Videos like this have the potential to prevent a lot of home invasions...

Tyler, the door chain is meant that for example, when someone knocks on the door, you open the door to talk to them but they cant attack you for example because the door doesn't open all the way. If the door chain was built with the OLD mechanism then it would be a lot stronger than he ball mechanism in this video tho. And next time, when doing a door kicking test, mount the door frame securely to something so it wont move back, like it couldn't on a real door.

“I feel a bind in the first pin. And the second. And to show it wasn’t a fluke. I’ll do it again.” And now the lock picking lawyer is in your home.

Everyone realizes that testing them on the same door makes the tests pointless, right?

Me: what you doing on the 4th man Tyler: trying out door locks Me: wtf

Want a real “you’re not getting in” door lock? Steel U brackets, with a steel drop in rod. Pain in the butt, unsightly, but no one would be getting in. Lol

Standard deadbolt but replace all the wood screws with 3in deck screws. Also the door hinge screws need upgraded. This setup will require a considerable effort with breaching tools to overcome.

We just gonna pretend that he didn’t install the door chain wrong

He spent 2 hours trying to get the door to swing smoothly just to test these locks and break it. Haha. I'd actually like to know his thought process on how and why he thought the hotel room door lock was gonna be easy. Cause honestly, I've always thought out of all of them that I've seen, that one seemed most secure. The other sturdy one I figured would eventually pop the hook out due to vibration (which it did the first time he retried with different screws). If the hook had a carabiner type end instead of a hook, I'd say that it would work great though. I feel like if an intruder was gonna go this far, they'd be quicker just breaking a window. Haha. I mean, your door can be as secure as you want it to be but windows are always a weak point when it comes to keeping yourself safe in terms of that cause lets be honest, criminals are already breaking the law, they aren't gonna care that they have to break your window to get what they want. This was cool to see tested out though because I've looked into these for a while for more home security. I'd say Tyler was probably pretty sore after this workout. Haha.

You should test how secure a door is with a strike plate attached to the door and door frame. Also test the security of a screen or storm door that has a lock

The free standing frame is costing your kicks energy. When the frame moves it absorbs the energy of the kick instead of transmitting it to the hardware.

If the Pole thing had like a bolt you could kick it into the door and I promise it’s stronger I’m a fireman and I’ve tryed to get through that it’s easier to just go through a window at that point

A couple of kicks on my door will give me time too get a couple good shots though the door being kicked in

That plastic wedge thing could keep people from carding your door. Which is incredibly easy if theres a gap that thing would fit in. I can card my door faster than I can use a key.

Yes but English houses are made of brick not dry wall so the first lock would be sturdy we had these sort of locks only with thicker chains and brackets etc

“I followed all the OSHA guidelines” Sure you did, lol

Just go old school and get some iron brackets and a 2 by 6

7:00 by the time you would get that open the homeowner would have heard that you were banging on the door with a sledgehammer.

Watching you missues the door kicker pole hurt just a bit lmao

*tylers wife* “Tyler whats all that banging? Are you trying to break through door locks again?” 😂 *tyler* “I bet three more donkey kicks!”

A lock only keeps an honest person out or slows others down. That's all

first one... they are usually super easy to shorten the chain. and definitely put them sideways. literally never saw one up n down. i really think those are more for peeking ur head thru to talk and not real security anyway.

Is it me or does anyone else get that king of the hill vibe when Bobby was yelling " That's my purse, I don't know you!" Then kicks peoples balls lmao

If it wasn't for the wobbly door frame, you could've definitely kicked the second lock open. The wobbling absorbed the impact lessening the power of your blows

I miss the jar videos, but heck! Always fun to tune in :)

solid wooden door with a high quality metal hotel style lock would be sick

The best one would be indeed that hook thing if we can figure out a way to stop someone from sliding a thin piece of metal in-between and opening it that way and it popping off when brute force is applied
